In the past, some of us disucssed the sudden disappreance of Linux-related

news that appear on paper (e.g. NYT) and never make it into the Web.
Finally, consider this antirtrust exhibit:

| on TCO on webservers. I don't like the fact that the report show us losing
| on availability (windows was down more than linux). And I don't like the
| fact that the reports says nothing new is coming with windows .net server."

| "I don't like it to be public on the doc that we sponsored it because I
| don't think the outcome is as favorable as we had hoped. I just don't like
| competitors using it as ammo against us. It is easier if it doesn't mention
| that we sponsored it."
